With THQ’s Darksiders finally readying itself for release at the end of the year, the publisher has released the final design of the PLAYSTATION 3 box art, alongside some brand new screenshots. The box art is similar to that which has been released before, but shows the definitive drop of the previously suggested subtitle "Wrath of War".

Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. Dishonoured and stripped of his powers, War must return to Earth to search for the truth and punish those responsible.

Hunted by a vengeful group of Angels, players will take on the forces of Hell, forge uneasy alliances with the very demons they hunts, and journey across the ravaged remains of the Earth on a quest for vindication. But the answers they seeks will reveal a deep conspiracy in which War is just a pawn in the eternal battle between Heaven and Hell.

Darksiders, developed by Vigil Games, is set to launch on PLAYSTATION and Xbox 360 in the fourth quarter of 2009, and you can check out Electronic Theatre's latest preview right here. Stay Tuned to  Electronic Theatre for more on Darksiders as it happens.
